In this video, The Suzuki Swift driver is driving on a downhill course along South Buona Vista Road, also known among the driving community as as 99 Bends or "Gao Zhup Gao Wan" in Hokkien.

Watch the video here:

The driver loses control after a long left curve, which has a decreasing radius that requires drivers to slow down.

As seen above: Speed regulating strips to tell the driver to slow down.

The Suzuki Swift seems to be catching up to the car infront, but it lost control at the end of this curve, then skidded and crashed into the barrier just opposite the bus stop.

We hope the driver is okay - and please drive with care next time. Thankfully, there were no pedestrians nearby.

Driver was heard saying,

"stupid car in front fault lah. He drive so slow, I had to slow down and not enough heat in my tyres to get the grip and that's why I crashed. If only no car and I went faster I would have been OK."

Need additional attention in the strip of road, especial in the night. This strip is more for skill and not speeding!

the camera car also following very closely too in order to show us the footage! so either all speeding down the slope or all driving within 99 bend speed limited then the Swift driver just lousy? 

so which one huh? cameraman you speeding down the slope too?!!?!? LOL :D

Then back to Tyres question, Suzuki Swift is such a small nimble car, to crash like this likely using non mainstream performance Tyres!

Noob. Earlier downshift with rev match + left-foot braking with balanced throttle through the decreasing radius corner might have saved his ass. Oh well.

No need all lah. Just put a piece of toufu on the dashboard, and it can immediately increase driver skills level to MAX. 😁

  • Japan is weird. I love it (Part 4)

    I recently finished watching Shōgun (yes, I'm a little bit late to the party). Released earlier this year, Shōgun has become an utter revelation - going on to win 18 Emmys at this year's Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, making it the most awarded single season of television in history. It's also the first non-English-language series to win Outstanding Drama Series.  And it truly is outstanding, fully deserving of all the awards that it has garnered.  As you would expect, the show rev

    DENZA D9: True Flagship Excellence

    What makes something a flagship? Flagship products represent the very best of a brand. Whether it's cars, electronic products, even services, a 'flagship' is core to a brand experience, as well as to the brand's image. Besides just delivering all the tangible features and functionality offered by the brand, a flagship product is also a showcase of the intangible - about what a brand stands for, and what it aims to deliver to customers.
